He said the dedication of the school is the government's way of promoting the education sector and enhancing students' quest for education.
The President opined that the new school would give the students a huge urge and impetus to return to school and continue their learning process.
“We came here last year and saw the need to do something because the initial structure was dilapidated,” the President said in remarks before the dedication. “I’m very glad that we are doing our best to fulfill and deliver on promises made to our people.”
The President reiterated his government’s commitment to progressively delivering on every promise made to the people of Liberia.
“We have a long list of projects, and we are doing everything to touch everywhere possible,” he stressed.
The Liberian Leader urged the community and school administration to ensure good maintenance of the facility while also expressing disappointment over the poor and unkempt manner in which most recently constructed facilities are kept.
